    That’s a little harsh, but point is well made. We return less than the other schools, our best player is currently not eligible, and probably our best high school recruit is unranked.

    Other than HCGM and 10000+ fans, we aren’t bringing a lot to the table.

      And we didn't really live up to the out of conference hype with a lot of seniors last year.

    Boy, I hope we don't take 8th. Lots of uncertainty, but hoping the talent is good enough to overcome experience lack.

    We'll see. I am going to enjoy this season. Low expectations for a change will be nice.

      I know there are lots of skeptics, even including here, but you could knock me over with a feather come March if WSU is 8th in the AAC. Not gonna happen.

        I hear ya. Only 2 new coaches to scout this year. Well 3 if you include ECU. So even though we have a gazillion new players...Gregg has 1 year under his belt to gameplan and specifically scout the AAC. I think that'll help a lot.......but still a gazillion new guys...wow!

        Looking forward to the steady build-up THIS year of a very...very young squad!!!

            Wonder why our Big 12 transfer wasn’t mentioned?
